Is a West End property appraisal free?

Yes — free and without obligation. If you later sell with Team Toner there are No Upfront Costs, and our 2% + GST commission is only payable when the property sells.

How do you value a character home in West End?

Against recent sales of comparable character homes, adjusted for original features, renovation quality, insulation, heating, roof and foundations, and the section. We show you the sales we used so you can see how the range was reached.

Will my renovation add value to my West End home?

Usually, if it's been done well and in keeping with the home. West End buyers pay for sympathetic renovation and comfort, and discount work that strips out character or looks unfinished. We'll give you an honest view at the appraisal.

How long does a West End appraisal take?

Allow about 45 minutes at the property. We look through the home and section, talk through your plans, and follow up with the written range and the comparable sales behind it.

How we appraise West End homes

West End is character-home territory, and character homes are hard to appraise from a spreadsheet. Two villas of the same size can be worth quite different money depending on original features, the quality of any renovation, insulation and heating, the roof and foundations, and how well the section suits the house.

So we look at the home in person, then compare it with recent West End sales and the other character homes on the market that a buyer would weigh against it. Being close to the Victoria Esplanade, Fitzherbert Park and the city centre is part of what buyers pay for here, and the street matters as much as the house.

Many owners ask for a West End appraisal a year or two before they plan to move — while deciding whether to finish a renovation, downsize or move closer to family. That's a good time to ask. It's free, both of us come, and there's no obligation to list.
